The Cadillac Formula 1 Team has announced enterprise software company IFS as its Official Technology Partner ahead of its debut campaign in the championship.
Confirming the deal on LinkedIn, Cadillac said the partnership would be “driven by data” and “powered by partnership” as it builds its F1 operation for the 2026 season.
The agreement will see IFS’s industrial AI and enterprise software solutions support Cadillac’s F1 programme across asset management, operational planning and performance optimisation, as the team establishes its infrastructure ahead of its first race.
The company’s technology is designed to help organisations manage complex, data-heavy environments in real time – a capability increasingly critical in modern F1 operations, where teams rely on integrated systems to oversee everything from manufacturing and logistics to trackside execution.
IFS said the partnership aligns with its focus on working with organisations operating in high-performance, high-reliability environments, with F1 providing a platform to demonstrate how enterprise software can support decision-making under pressure.
For Cadillac, the deal adds another layer to the team’s off-track build as it prepares for entry into F1, with technology partnerships forming a key part of how new teams structure their operations ahead of competition.
The partnership will begin in 2026, coinciding with Cadillac’s first season on the Formula 1 grid, with Tommy Hilfiger and Jim Bean the other partners confirmed ahead of the team’s debut.
In an exclusive interview with Sector in November, Tyler Epp – Cadillac’s Global Head of Commercial Strategy – revealed that a title partner currently does not feature in its thinking.
